Magical Xochimilco Trajineras
Located in Xochimilco, the Trajineras are kind of like Mexican gondolas, except larger and full of colour. Taking a ride on one of the boats along the canals, you'll find floating vendors selling foods, drinks and snacks, as well as mariachi bands, and souvenirs.

El Califa de León
This no-frills taqueria is the only 1 Michelin star taco stand in the world. They expertly make each tortilla to order alongside the mouthwatering meats. Our favourites were the Gaonera (filet) & the Bistec (steak) tacos, but you can't go wrong with anything on their very affordable menu. This will be the cheapest Michelin star meal you will ever have, but the line up can be crazy, so go early or be prepared to wait!

Campomar Masaryk
A popular seafood restaurant in the upscale Polanco district. Campomar is one of our favourite eateries in Mexico City. The food is delicious and the portions are surprisingly large! We felt it was very reasonably priced for the quality, the setting, and the amount of food you get with each order!

About @TakeTimeToTravel

Hey, It's Tom and Mike, 5 years ago, we decided to sell everything, other than what we could fit into a couple of suitcases and travel full time. We started our journey exploring and eating through Canada in places like Montreal, Quebec City, Mont Tremblant, Vancouver, Victoria, and Niagara Falls, and then started travelling internationally to places like Mexico, Thailand, Greece, France, Portugal & Spain. It's been an incredible experience, but there's lots more to check out! Join us on our travels as we explore and eat our way around the World!
